SMITHFIELD

HOME TARGETED

A 29-YEAR-OLD with gang links was the intended target when his home was sprayed with bullets on Sunday night.

Neighbours said the Reserve Rd home had been shot at last year and had also been raided by police.

The heavily tattooed man, who was inside the battle axe block with his girlfriend when the shots were fired before 9pm, wasn't at home yesterday morning and his sisters were reluctant to say why their brother was targeted.

"Of course it's worrying," one sister said.

A neighbour, who didn't wanted to be named, said police often visited the address and the man's older brother had been arrested during a raid and was possibly in prison.

"We had just put a scary movie on to watch and that's when we heard bang and it just kept going six times," she said.

"I saw a white car driving off with no headlights. It's scary. You can't even let the little ones out. If it ricochets they don't care who they hit."
